It all started when Maverick became pretty obsessed with popcorn, she just adores it. First, we started with the microwave version - the healthier the better - then, her consumption levels just became too high. I started to think we needed to go all homemade with this one, to ensure that we had organic corn, minimal butter and overall - the healthiest popcorn we could get. Given the fact that Maverick demanded a bowl a day. Now, we have an air popper that is fun to watch, easy to use and allows us some peace of mind. :)
